Without the Smell of Smoke
Robert Nichols landed on his feet after being sent airborne when struck by a car while riding his motorcycle. Then, the car hit him again—dragging him 70 feet. Miraculously, Robert escaped without a single injury. He and his wife, Tamara, know God’s favor was his “shield of protection”—a revelation they embraced after partnering with Kenneth Copeland Ministries.
If you are a born-again Christian, then you know the power of forgiveness because you’ve already received it!
If you’ve been hurt, then the idea of forgiveness may seem impossible. You may be wondering what exactly it means for you as a Christian and how to do it.
Have you made a mistake for which you are having a hard time forgiving yourself? Have you allowed sin into your life, or have you never gotten completely free from it?

What About 2015?
Years ago, I heard The LORD say, THE PERSON WHO LIVES BY FAITH NEVER HAS TO CHANGE HIS LIFESTYLE BECAUSE OF THE TIMES.

The Longest Journey
Rick Nuñez grew up on the north side of Fort Worth, Texas, where gang members were like superstars... and he wanted to be one. After getting stabbed in the stomach, Rick continued to hang out with the gang and was expelled from school. At her wits’ end, his mother prayed: “God, do what You want with his life. I give him back to You.” And God did.
As He Is, So Are We in This World!
In last month’s letter, we talked about the spiritual force of forgiveness. According to Jesus, the power that removes sin and the power that heals are the same.
Gloria Copeland discusses Psalm 145 in relation to healing. God is looking for a heart that will receive all the good He wants to give. It can be YOU!
When You Stand Praying, Forgive!
Forgiveness is not a mental force. It’s like faith: Feelings have nothing to do with it, one way or another. It’s a spiritual force and is done as an act of obedience to Jesus...

One Word at a Time
It’s been nearly 60 years since 17-year-old Stanley Black took the gospel to the streets, hospitals and jungles of Costa Rica. Today, at age 76, Stanley is still going strong and helping to change the world, one anointed word at a time, as he travels with and provides Spanish interpretation for Kenneth Copeland.
I'm struggling to forgive someone. Can you help me?
Forgiveness is a powerful principle of God. God’s Word is clear that we are to forgive, but if you are struggling to forgive someone who has wronged you, begin reading and thinking about these six scriptures. Then make the quality decision to forgive that person. Your emotional and spiritual well-being depend on it.
Ephesians 4:32: Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
What in the World Is Happening?
What in the world is happening? Nations are on the move against other nations. Strange and never-before-heard-of things are taking place.
The Force of Forgiveness
At the close of 2013, as you know, the word of The LORD came to me saying, “2014 will be known as the year of victory over death, and the year of manifested Love.”
What do I do if my spouse views pornography?
Assuming your spouse realizes the detrimental results of pornography use to his/her own spiritual well-being and the harm it does in his/her relationships, your responsibility is to stay in faith for your spouse.
Pornography is one of Satan's tactics to trap men and women and fulfill his ultimate intent to kill, steal and destroy lives (John 10:10).
What can I do to enjoy life more?
Are you tired of living the same old way? Jesus didn’t redeem you so that you could be sad, depressed, sick and broke. He came so you could have “life, and...have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
Kenneth and Gloria Copeland have been living that reality for more than 45 years, and they’ve taught others how to live it, too. Start enjoying life more at any age, whether you’re 18 or 81.

Spiritually speaking, unforgiveness is downright dangerous. It will make your spirit feeble and your prayers ineffective.
How did things change between the Old and New Testaments?
One of the biggest changes between the Old and New Covenants is how sin was handled.
In the Old Covenant, God established the priesthood to provide a way for the Israelites to cover or atone for sin—the breaking of the law. The high priest offered a blood sacrifice each year in the Holy of Holies to cover the sins of the people. When the high priest failed, the people had no approach to God.
In contrast, the blood of Jesus did not just cover over our sins; it eradicated our sins.
Will I pay for my past sins?
No matter where you come from or what sins you’ve committed, the good news is that when you are born again and receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are a new creation and the old things have passed away as far as God is concerned (2 Corinthians 5:17).
